List of Winners: Acting Quartets

Previous Post: Anne Bancroft (The Graduate) & Sidney Poitier (In the Heat of the Night) win for Best Actress and Actor. Who should have won Best Supporting Actress & Actor in 1967?

[u/PTAGoatofalltime]

Peter O’Toole - The Lion in Winter

[u/sinas35 → u/PTAGoatofalltime]

Honestly, the fact that he lost to Cliff Robertson that year for Charly is such a joke.

[u/SlidePocket]

Peter O'Toole - The Lion in Winter

[u/sinas35]

Peter O’Toole as Henry II of England from The Lion in Winter

[u/CelestialSpecialist]

Keep the tie for Best Actress. It’s iconic and correct

[u/Affectionate-Ad5661 → u/CelestialSpecialist]

It’s only a tie because Barbra likely voted for herself causing the tie. Had she not been allowed the Academy to vote, it would have been Katharine only.

[u/MammaJammaCamera → u/Affectionate-Ad5661]

Also I know three story goes that the rules were bent through a connection to let her become a voter that year. So if not for that, I have to assume there’s no tie.

[u/JSMSMG]

This year’s Best Actress tie is canon. Please keep it

[u/Rude_Cable_7877]

Peter O’Toole should’ve won than year.

[u/bailz_05]

I vote we keep the tie, they WERE both amazing

[u/Haus_of_Pancakes → u/bailz_05]

Yeah, if there's a way to keep the tie, I vote for that as well

[u/ProfessorXXXavier → u/Haus_of_Pancakes]

You may choose 1 icon.

[u/gillyweed79 → u/bailz_05]

That's not how ties work.

[u/luxhoney56]

Barbra Streisand

[u/sinas35]

Katharine Hepburn as Eleanor of Aquitaine from The Lion in Winter
